About the book
Thea Birch is a sensible woman from a family of adventurous females. Seven years ago, one kiss from Damon Free had convinced her she was just as wild as her relations. So Thea had left town, and only necessity has brought her back....
Damon "Running Bear" Free is still the kind of man who would drive most parents to lock up their daughters: he wears leathers, rides a motorbike and has an attitude the size of Montana! Only, Thea still remembers that kiss. She wants more. She wants Damon. There's just one problem--Damon's Native American name might be "Running Bear," but "Stubborn as a Mule" would have been more appropriate. And if he wants a woman--he'll find his own!
